Mark, has anyone asked Dusty the last 5 years why the catcher has to bat 8th? I’d love to see a young hitter, like Meso get more pitches to hit batting at least 7th. 8th is such a hard spot to hit, especially for a rookie who seems to still be learning to recognize pitches (really struggles on breaking balls, and getting a lot of 1st pitch bb’s). Although I guess today one of our best hitters is hitting 9th.
